She can’t stop running interference And though I held her dear once I can’t keep up this spin Why don’t you keep that aspect of yourself for him Like you’ve been trained to do But I never will be you In all this mountainous thunder And taking a number To be what you are Has every star Been categorised And every sunset a way the day dies I don’t know about your aching pain As it tries to force me to stand in the rain Because you got wet From a time you cannot forget All the lights shine But forever will never be mine As long as I pick up after you I feel cold at the sound of your laughter too Because it rings of disdain And your aching stain On the carpet or sheet There must have been a reason we meet By universal design But know that I cannot call mine What only pulverises And she surmises That I’m cutting, direct The words she hurls haven’t changed me yet But I just feel this sigh Coming on like a longing goodbye As I wonder why She never understood jack And now she cannot take it back
It’s ok to fear the darkness, it’s something we all feel
And it may take some time for the scars to truly heal
And though they may torment you as you turn in bed at night
I have seen the stars and it will be alright
There is a forever where horizons never reach
And there is a together where you’re standing on the beach
And there is a demise to all the hate and pain
There is always sunlight just beyond the rain
So don’t hide your face my child as you lie there alone
There is a God of sorts and he will take you home
And he is not all thunder and all harrowing might
He is the thing inside that sets your heart alight
You walked me all the way back to my car
And left me there
With a hand on my shoulder
You uttered your goodbye
Permanent and forever
But made of such materials
Not built to last
The timber rotted in the rain
And the fragile frame of you
Soon fell asunder
In tears to echo the watered sky
And I can hear you cry
Over here from abroad
As I silently live out my penance
For a crime I did not commit
And you, beautiful you
Wish it undone
